State Department of Transportation officials still haven’t determined a cause of the March 25 collapse of an I-295 retaining wall and have hired a forensic engineer to independently determine a reason.
That was one of the revelations from Transportation Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scacceti during a Zoom conference Wednesday evening with South Jersey drivers, residents and officials over the incident that has resulted in demolition of part of the wall.

New Jersey releases grants for rail/bridge maintenance and new construction Written by Bill Wilson, Editor-in-Chief
The Southern Maryland Rapid Transit Project would connect the Branch Avenue Metro station to Waldorf and White Plains.
Ten railroad projects in New Jersey will receive financial assistance from the state’s Department of Transportation.
The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) is providing $29 million in grants to projects in 11 counties that include track maintenance, bridge maintenance and new bridge construction. The funding comes from the NJDOT’s FY 2021 Rail Freight Assistance Program and covers more than half of each of the project’s cost. Railroad owners and operators will add $23 million to the pot.
